“Infocalypse”, the biggest information and communications crisis in world history, is imminent. Further, the boundary between mainstream and social media is getting blurred.

Socio-economic conditions of the underprivileged are such that several members of a family live in a single room without proper access to utilities; this makes getting an education a challenge for them.

Mere strict laws cannot prevent female foeticide. We all have to create an environment where women are respected by informing everyone about the fact that men and women are equal. There is a need to create awareness in this direction. We urge the government to implement a stringent law that will punish the parents, relatives and agents who come asking for sex detection,

Overcoming socially ascribed roles necessitates transcending artificial public-private dichotomies. Addressing power imbalances has become an imperative of our time. Our laws are powerful tools in opening our public spaces as well as curbing private discrimination

To truly overcome stereotypical roles, the law and policy should transcend the public-private dichotomy and address power imbalances regardless of the locations. This requires a comprehensive approach that considers societal context, historical perspectives and the jurisprudence of discrimination law. By doing so, we pave the way for a society where equality is not a mere slogan but a lived reality for all our members. The legal landscape must evolve, weaving a tapestry that accommodates differences, eradicates biases and ensures substantive equality,

The roots of the Houthi movement can be traced to “Believing Youth” (Muntada al-Shahabal-Mu’min), a Zaydi revivalist group founded by Hussein al-Houthi and his father, Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in the early 1990s. Badr al-Din was an influential Zaydi cleric in northern Yemen. Inspired by the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the rise of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in the 1980s, Badr al-Din and his sons started building vast social and religious networks among the Zaydis of Yemen, who make up roughly one-third of the Sunni-majority country’s population. The Zaydis are named after Zayd Bin Ali, the great grandson of Imam Ali, Prophet Mohammed’s cousin and son-in-law who both Shias and Zaydis revere. Zayd Bin Ali had led a revolt against the Ummayad Caliphate in the eighth century. He was killed, but his martyrdom led to the rise of the Zaydi sect. While the Zaydis are seen as part of the Shia branch of Islam, both in terms of theology and practice, they are different from the ‘Twelver’ Shias of Iran, Iraq and Lebanon.
